Major Announcement

Apparently Holmgren has a major announcement coming tomorrow. Try to act surprised when it is:
A. Ray Emery signing
B. Firing John Stevens
C. Something lame

90% on A. Equal parts on what's left to B and C (that's 5% on each geniuses).

I love how they make an announcement about makng an announcement. It reminds me of one of my former jobs, when people would call meetings to discuss future meetings.

What the Heck Was He Thinking?????

Who bought this shirt for Paul Holmgren? Better question: who found a drunk zebra and decided to kill it? Seriously, what is he wearing? And why? I don't even have any idea what he said in that interview because of that thing. Well, that and the fact that I had my speakers muted. But mostly it was the shirt. I kept staring at it and wondering if I was being slowly hypnotized by it to buy season tickets or if PH thought he was making a good fashion statement.

Flyers Odds and Ends

So Holmgren had a press conference today on the state of the Flyers organization. He was asked a lot of questions about the goalie situation, the cap, the defense, et al. He didn't really answer any of them. At least not in the part I watched before I fell asleep. I mean, took my lunch break. I have transcribed what I remember from it:

Reporter: Do you think Biron is your goalie of the future?
PH: That's something we need to look at and talk about in the offseason.

Reporter: Is the cap going to hinder you this offseason?
PH: That's going to be something we are going to look at and talk about. We're not sure where the cap number is going to be, so I can't comment further.

Reporter: Are you going to be able to sign Biron and Niittymaki?
PH: We've had talks with both their agents, and we'll have to see with the cap and all.

Good news for Richards: He is up for the Selke.
Bad news: He will probably not win it. Oh, and he is due to have surgery on at least one shoulder (maybe both). Plus, amazon is apparently trying to sell him:

AND, the old lady syndrome is still alive and well in the locker room - everyone has hip problems. I wonder what else will come out in regards to injuries, since they are so secretive about that stuff...
